LONDON, March 4.-The crisis is rpening fast Last
nights tumutuous scene In the House OF Commons
herald Of the coming storm. The Tories had
down in organized relays prepared to force the
constabul~ry estimates through, even II an all night
sitting necessary. They have apparently deter
mined to 90 in tor series Ct all night stngs to cram
the closure rules the estimates, and by and by their
Coercion bil down the throat of the House. This is
sood use 10 which they think they may put their
men about town. These political swashhuckers have
signed document volunteering their services for
suon purpose Last night they turned up about half
better fun than to cit up till morning shouting the
Irsh down. As it happened 1t not our intention
t. treat them to an oil night sitting We only sat TIL
Of these gentlemen had gnominiousy broken down in
their attempts to drown the voices of our orators
The sitting the stormest since the era OF truse
inaugurhted by Mr.. Gladst0ne's Home Ruie BILL
Mr.. Dillon had described the performances OF the
armed tabulary In carrying out evictions, sup
pressing meetings M nd % Gss Seeo
tary Sir Michael Hicks Beach got up and announced
that such would be continued with greater vigor
in the coming time, and that the Government we're
about to ask Parliament immediately Tor q Coercion
act. This the fret express announcement OF the
coercion policy, toward which long ago warned you
the Torres were drifting. 1t was the signal for an
exciting protest ct defiance from the Irish benches
Mr.; Parnel spoke the mind OF his party with q are
with Bucksh0t" " Forster.
This tusiade brought Sir Michael again to his feet
with the cold booded declaration that the next time
Irish members OF Parliament tried to hold meeting
In spite OF the police they would be treated to eone
thing harder than batons. Alter this murderous
threat the storm broke with all its fury But bitter
though the was il proved distinct score Tor us
for the brutality of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, who
was perhaps betrayed into unguarded ext reeslon
by The fact that he suffering from an excuciaiiug
tOohauhc reused the indignation OF our English ales
No symptom OF the present situation Is more rcassur
ing or inspiritng than the emphatic stand taken by
the Liberal Home Rulers last isht in alliance with
the Irish party.
The Pail Mall Gazette" IN a remarkable article to-
day, gives voice To the sentiment OF democratic Eng
and masses with the English leaders and masses IS
producing its fruit i'll this standup Tor popular liber
ties. The right OF public meeting. which the IRISH
members yiIdicate Ia n right which Engishmen
deemed worth lighting and dying tor. The English
spirit OF resistance to arbitrary oppression has entered
act il that momentous change had not taken place
Let tho Chief Secretary ii he dare, concludes lbe
Pail Mali Gazette" attempt TO enforce an illegal
proclamation by attack upon an IRISH meeting anu
whether the people resist whether they are saugh-
cred at Peterloo, Lord Sasburys administration
will perish with .gnominy, choked with the blood OF
peasants dcfcndin. the righs OF tree speech
need hardly sag that with such spuit as this IN
England at their hack the ir.h people will not tace
the next coercion regime h any tanner hearts than
ever, have yet to get their Coercion act and strange
p0lit cal changes take place before that weapon
ia forged. Already there is a revolt among large
section OF the Liberal. Unonsts who pledged TAR
strongly against coercion than they are against
Home Rule. II l. quite likely that Sir George Ire
velyan may, OF these days make public announce
ment of his entire conversion TO Mr.. Gladstone =
policy. T. T.. Gill, ~ L.
